Summary

'A doorway to a new future is ready to open. We are the hinge of that moment. We will let the door swing wide.'

On a beautiful spring evening - when both moons are full - two teenagers vow eternal love. It is a moment that will have cataclysmic consequences. Not just for them, but for the world on which they live. A world where Prom Night is a matter of life or death, where weapons are grown and trained like pets, and where a chosen few are hearing a voice. A voice that speaks of... Karagula.

Philip Ridley's Karagula is a story of epic proportions. Written in fractured timescale, it explores out constant need to find meaning. To believe we're here for a reason. To have fait in something. Faith in... anything.
